Let's Create A Class of 2001 Legacy Together
As we celebrate our milestone reunion, we have an opportunity to leave a legacy that reflects the values our class shares: hard work, perseverance, and a commitment to helping others succeed. The Class of 2001 25th Reunion Planning Committee has decided to create the Class of 2001 Brent Key Athletic Scholarship to honor one of our classmates while investing in the next generation of Georgia Tech student-athletes. This scholarship is a commitment to young people who demonstrate the determination and pursuit of excellence that define the Georgia Tech experience. Many of us knew Brent long before he became Georgia Tech's head football coach. We knew him as a student and classmate. Supporting this scholarship is a way to honor that connection while opening doors for future Yellow Jackets.
